A paint industry establishes several critical processes, which include pumping fluids from one point to another, between tanks and during the packaging process. This pumping must be done efficiently and safely, to avoid unavailability and delays in product delivery. For industries that want to increase efficiency and guarantee a quality product at the end of the process, pneumatic diaphragm pumps can be the ideal choice.
In this sense, there are some factors that must be considered when choosing the bomba so that it can deliver the expected productivity and guarantee the reduction of maintenance costs for the industry.
Here are some differences that make this pump an intelligent and complete choice for the paint industry:
Pumping viscous fluids
Due to the characteristics of the paints, the viscosity of the fluids is one of the most critical factors for this type of industry. Since this type of fluid presents a certain resistance during flow, it is very important to have equipment that can move this product efficiently and without causing damage to the pump.
For this reason, it is necessary to know the viscosity of the product that will be pumped in order to adopt a pump that has a structure capable of dealing with this type of product. An example of this is that positive displacement pumps, progressive cavity pumps and diaphragm pumps can handle high viscosity while other types of pump end up getting damaged when pumping this type of fluid.
Product chemical compatibility
It is also necessary to check the composition of the paint that will be pumped due to the possibility of corrosion of certain ingredients, such as the solvent. In this sense, it is necessary to choose a pneumatic diaphragm pump that is compatible with the type of fluid being pumped.
This compatibility is essential to deliver safety and equipment availability, without the risk of corrosion and without increasing the need for maintenance.
Ease of maintenance
Some pump alternatives available on the market end up presenting a great need for maintenance when pumping more viscous fluids. This demand can increase your company's downtime and hinder the delivery of the demands expected by consumers.
Pneumatic diaphragm pumps are easily accessible, have a high availability of replacement parts and can be disassembled and reassembled very easily. Furthermore, it is also necessary to find a manufacturer that provides support suited to the needs of your industry.
Pressure Rate and Flow Rate
Only you know the production needs of your industry and it is very important to consider flow and pressure before choosing a pump for your paint industry. It is essential to adopt a pump that has adequate pressure and flow so that the fluid is supplied in the necessary quantity.
In addition to evaluating all these factors, it is very important to remember that cost-benefit is crucial when choosing your equipment. Although there are cheaper pumps on the market, the pneumatic diaphragm pump offers high durability and productivity above other solutions.
